“We are the champions, my friend. And we’ll keep on fighting to the end. We are the champions. We are the champions.”

Houston (10-5), which only needed one more win or a loss by the Tennessee Titans to win the division, forced four turnovers in the first half before taking the lead for good midway through the fourth quarter.

The Texans have won the division in four of the past five seasons and have finished with a winning record in all but one season — including at least 10 wins in back-to-back seasons — since coach Bill O’Brien took over in 2014.

“It’s a good accomplishment,” O’Brien said. “… I think it shows some level of consistency, but obviously, we’ve got a long way to go. But it was a great accomplishment.”

After the game, several players in the locker room wore shirts celebrating the division title that read, “THE SOUTH IS NOT ENOUGH.” And while quarterback Deshaun Watson said he certainly will enjoy the win before getting back to work Monday and preparing to play the Titans, he was clear that “this is not the ultimate goal” for Houston this season.
